Forward
Flatpicking guitar players tend to spend much of their time learning how to play bluegrass songs
that is somewhat foreign to them and it is not often taught in instructional material that is readily
Flatpicking Guitar Magazine
that this genre of music would be a perfect vehicle for those who are interested in learning solo
learning how to play familiar Christmas music for family and friends during the holiday season
Good luck and good pickin’!
